Black Shrimp looked behind him and saw six piles of ashes neatly arranged in two rows.
"See that!" Black Shrimp pointed at the ashes and said to Littleflower,""This is the instruction left behind by Third Master. Uncle Hua, come here. As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the farther you see. Is your shoulder okay?”
"You want to fight on horseback?" Xiao Hua immediately understood.”
Black Shrimp nodded with a smile.
Littleflower smiled. Then, she jumped up two meters high and landed on the black shrimp's shoulder.
In fact, riding a horse was a way for two people to see further and more comprehensively. One person stood on the shoulder of the other, similar to the so-called human pyramid.
The reason why Flowery fought with the black shrimp was that the one with a lower status was always on the bottom while the one with a higher status was on the top.
The black shrimp was caught off guard and let Littleflower beat him to it. However, for the sake of the small amount of money, the black shrimp didn't argue with him. He mumbled that he was an old man and asked Littleflower to be gentle with him. Then, he didn't say anything.
Littleflower was standing on the shoulder of the black shrimp. The scene in front of him was very clear. After looking at it for a while, Littleflower jumped down, carried his backpack, and walked towards the north.
"Hey, I said, are you done? What was going on? Tell me!"
Black Shrimp shouted as he caught up with Littleflower and asked,""Uncle Hua, what did you see?"
"Why do you care what I see? Just go north!”
Whitey glanced at Black Shrimp, who smiled and said,""Uncle Hua, do me the honor of giving me some advice. How did you decide to go north?“
"You want to know?" Flowery asked mysteriously. The black shrimp nodded.
Flowery extended five fingers and imitated the tone of the black man,""Five hundred!"
" Five hundred?!" "Aren't you trying to kill me?" Black Shrimp was shocked.”
"Alright, it's okay if you don't want to give it to me.”
Littleflower said and walked away. Black Shrimp hesitated for a while and then made up his mind. He caught up with Littleflower and raised five fingers, saying,""Five, okay?"
Flowery finally saw a real miser. She nodded and said,""Remember, you owe me five yuan!”
"Sigh! Yes, then tell me quickly!"
"Gossip!"
Flowery left after saying these two words.
Black Shrimp thought for a while and finally remembered that the visit of the six piles of ashes happened to be the Kun hexagram in the Eight Trigrams. Kun was the north, so the Third Master had left them instructions to go north!
"Sigh, I was hit on the back of my horse and even lost five yuan. This business is really losing money!”
Wu Laosi brought his injured brother to Devil Town. When they reached the shipwreck, Tian Zhen had already fallen asleep.
He was woken up by Wu Laosi and the others. He only heard Ning say something to Wu Laosi. It's not your fault. It's normal that you can't deal with Fatty and him!
"Fatty?" When he heard this name, he couldn't help but ask,""Is Fatty Wang here?"
Wu Laosi pursed his lips and wanted to answer, but he was scared away by Ning's gaze. He looked at everyone innocently and asked curiously,"Where's little brother? Where's the black shrimp? Why didn't they follow you here?"
Seeing this, Ning changed the topic."They still have other things to do. Let's not just stand there. Wu Laosi, organize people to enter the ship and see if there are any clues.”
"Yes, boss!"
Wu Laosi agreed and led his men into the wooden boat. Not long after, a group of people walked out with two earthen jars in their hands.
The earthen jars were densely packed on the ground. Ning looked at the earthen jars but did not know what was inside. She called Innocent over to ask, but Innocent did not know what was inside either.
At this moment, Wu Laosi came out with the last few jars and said to Tian Zhen and Ning,""Boss, Little Third Master, come and take a look at this. This is broken!”
After saying that, Wu Laosi placed the jar on the ground. Tianzhen and Ah Ning came closer to take a look. A stench assaulted their faces. Ning and Tian Zhen covered their noses involuntarily.
After that, Innocent took a look and found that there was actually a human skull in the broken pots, one in each pot.
"This skull is obviously bigger than the earthen jar. How did you put it in? Could it be a kind of punishment at that time, to burn clay pots on the heads of living people?“
Innocent looked at the clay pot and human skull in front of him and asked. He looked at Ning and found that Ning was also confused. Obviously, Ning was also confused about Innocent's question.
"It is indeed a form of punishment!"
Zhang Muzhi's voice was heard,""However, this kind of punishment is very cruel. It's not aimed at adults, but at children!”
"What?" Innocent and Ning were shocked when they heard this, and Zhang Muzhi then began to explain.
In ancient times, there were endless disputes and wars. When there was a war, there would be captives. The victors would never show off their style towards the captives of the defeated countries. They would usually kill them cruelly.
This was the case for the ordinary captives, and it was even worse for the nobles.
And now, what Ning and the others saw was the punishment for the descendants of the defeated nobles.
When they were still children, they would put pots on their heads and feed them water through the gaps in the pots.
One day, when water and food could no longer enter the crack, their heads could no longer be taken out.
At that time, they would chop off their heads as a souvenir to symbolize their victory, so as to achieve the goal of the ruling class to consolidate their political power and intimidate others.
Hearing this, everyone admired Zhang Muzhi's profound knowledge. However, at this moment, Zhang Muzhi suddenly heard a buzzing sound, which sounded like a dragonfly flapping its wings.
